Hicks: Lamb of God singer acquitted in manslaughter case

Lamb of God singer Randy Blythe was acquitted Tuesday in the Czech Republic on manslaughter charges, stemming from an incident involving Blythe allegedly pushing a fan from the stage during a 2010 concert in Prague.

"I have been found not guilty & acquitted of all charges against me. I am a free man," Blythe wrote on Instagram upon leaving a Czech Republic courtroom. "Please remember the family of Daniel Nosek in your thoughts & prayers in this difficult time. I only wish for them peace. Thank you for your support."

Blythe was indicted in December for manslaughter in Prague, where he was accused of shoving 19-year-old Nosek off a stage two years earlier, causing his head injuries from which he later died.

The singer, who pleaded not guilty, faced a possible five-year sentence had he been convicted. The prosecution will reportedly appeal the verdict.
